Definitions

  • This invention relates to methods for incorporating feed ingredients (particularly, but not exclusively, medicaments) with animal foodstuffs, and to substances useful in such methods.
  • Treatment of intensively farmed animals with medication is often carried out by "mass medication", that is to say that animals are not treated individually, but as a group. The most efficient way of doing this is by adding the treatment to the animals' feed or drink. Water medication is very labour intensive and may require veterinary supervision, and longer term treatments are much more easily carried out by supplying the group of animals with medicated feed.
  • Manufactured foodstuffs for animals such as cattle, pigs, and fowl are usually provided in the form of pellets or similar particulate material.
  • Pellets are typically manufactured by combining a cereal base with ingredients such as oil and protein, steam conditioning the mixture (for example at 70°C for 5 minutes), extruding through a circular die (typically between 2mm and 15mm in diameter), cutting into appropriately sized lengths (eg. 5-20mm), and drying.
  • the finished pellets are generally cylindrically shaped, having a relatively smooth surface, and a density typically of about 1.2g.cm -3 .
  • additives such as drugs are incorporated into the feed mixture before the extrusion step.
  • many different drugs are required to be added to feed pellets from time to time, and because the demand for any particular medicated product is generally relatively low compared to the demand for non-medicated feed, it is not usually viable to provide dedicated plant for manufacturing specific products. Instead, batches of medicated feed are manufactured according to need using machinery otherwise used to produce non-medicated feed.
  • a major problem with this manufacturing regime is that the plant needs to be completely cleaned down after the production of each batch of medicated feed, in order to reduce the risk of contaminating subsequent feed batches. This obviously reduces efficiency and increases operating costs.
  • EP-A-0,231,817 discloses the coating of feed pellets with nutritional supplements such as vitamins, and it is stated (for example at Column 3, lines 35 to 36) that the preferred vehicles for the vitamins are oils.
  • the vitamin-containing oil is applied to the pellets in a continuous flow process in which the pellets are fed into a rotating drum whose axis of rotation is inclined to the horizontal.
  • the oil is sprayed onto the pellet by means of a lance disposed within the drum, and the pellets become coated with the oil both by means of direct spraying and as a result of tumbling within the drum.
  • the pellets move towards the lower end of the drum, and eventually exit through an outlet port.
  • JP 60-12939 relates to the addition of pharmaceuticals to fish food in the form of whole fish, sliced fish or wet pellets.
  • a coating containing the pharmaceutical is applied to the fish food immediately before feeding to the fish.
  • the coating is applied in the form of a dried powder which absorbs moisture from the surface of the foodstuff and adheres to it. It is therefore essential that the surface of the foodstuff be wet, and the method is accordingly unsuitable for use with dry pellets.
  • the powder is simply sprinkled onto the moist foodstuff and immediately adheres thereto, accuracy of dosage and homogeneity of the coated product are likely to be poor.
  • US 3,639,637 also relates to the addition of an active substance to an animal foodstuff immediately prior to feeding to the animal.
  • This patent is concerned specifically with the administration of the growth promoter diethylstibestrol to cattle and the problems associated with the formulation of a stable aqueous suspension of this particular compound.
  • the patent proposes a dry powder formulation, the essential ingredients of which are freely divided diethylstilbestrol and microcrystalline cellulose. The powder is then made up into an aqueous suspension by addition of tap water and added to the animal foodstuff prior to feeding to the animals.
  • the identity of the foodstuff and the precise method of application are not specified (though spraying is mentioned as the conventional method) and there is no suggestion that a particularly good accuracy or homogeneity are achieved.
  • the present invention therefore provides, in one aspect, a batch process method of incorporating an added ingredient with an animal foodstuff in the form of pellets or similar particular foodstuff material, suitable for feeding to animals such as cattle, pigs and fowl, the method comprising the steps of: placing a quantity of said pellets or similar particulate material into a mixer; adding to said mixer a cohesive gel containing said added ingredient; and mixing said gel with said pellets or other particulate foodstuff material so that the latter become substantially homogeneously coated with said gel, and the walls of the mixer are left substantially free of added ingredient contamination after mixing.
  • the method has the advantage that the amount and distribution of added ingredient may be controlled sufficiently accurately to render the method suitable for the incorporation of medicaments as well as non-medicated additives.
  • the pellets may be fed to animals directly after coating, but more commonly the gel is dried or absorbed into the pellet, thus entrapping the medication in the pellet and giving protection against attrition and the formation of active agent dust.
  • the term "gel” is to be understood as referring to any viscous cohesive suspension, and the term “gelling agent” to any thickening agent capable of producing such a suspension.
  • the gel is preferably a highly viscous solution or suspension (for example an aqueous suspension), having low flow and good adhesive properties.
  • Thixotropic gels may be used.
  • the viscosity should be controlled within the range 5,000 to 20,000 cP (Brookfield RV, spindle 6, 25 rpm, 20°C), more preferably in the range 5,000 to 15,000 cP, and ideally in the range 7,500 to 12,500 cP. This viscosity range allows added ingredients having particles of a wide variety of sizes and densities to be homogeneously suspended, and also gives the gel the necessary cohesive properties for good feed pellet distribution and low mixer contamination.
  • suitable gelling agents which may be used for this purpose are modified cellulose polymers, synthetic polymers, natural polysaccharides, clays, proteins and colloidal silica, but other gelling agents may also be used.
  • the gel can be supplied to users ready mixed with the added ingredient(s), or as a raw gel, for such ingredient(s) to be added.
  • the gelling agent may be provided in powder form and made up to the finished gel when required, with the added ingredient(s) being either mixed in at the outset, or being added after the gel is made up.
  • the mixing can be accomplished by adding water, oil, or another appropriate liquid, and mixing vigorously (for example in a high speed planetary mixer) to shear the mixture and allow complete hydration of the gelling agent.
  • the amount of liquid will depend on the gelling agent used, and on the ratio of gelling agent to other ingredients in the powder; typically the final gel will contain 1 to 50% w/w (preferably 1 to 10% w/w) of the gelling agent.
  • modified cellulose polymers which may be used as the gelling agent are: sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, and microcrystalline cellulose.
  • Suitable synthetic polymers are: polyacrilic acid polymers (Carbomers) , polyvinylpyrrolidones (PVPs), crospovidones, polyvinyl alcohols, and colloidal anhydrous silicas.
  • Examples of natural polysaccharides which may be used include: xanthan gum, acacia gum, agar, carrageenan and tragacanth.
  • Suitable clays are bentonite and aluminium magnesium silicates, and an example of a suitable protein is gelatin.
  • the invention may be used to incorporate many different types of added ingredient or combinations of added ingredients.
  • medicaments which may be used are: antimicrobials (such as tetracyclines, penicillins, sulphonamides, cephalosporins, cephamycins, aminoglycosides, aminocyclitols, trimethoprim, dimetridazole, erythromycin, framycetin, furazolidone, lincosamides, tiamulin, macrolides, and streptomycin); antiprotozoals (such as clopidol, monensin, salinomycin, narasin, halofuginone, lasalocid, amprolium, maduramicin, and robenidine) ; and antiparasitics (such as benzimidazoles, imidazothiazoles, avermectines, milbermycins, salicylicanilides and piperazine).
  • antimicrobials such as tetracyclines, pen
  • Examples of other added ingredients are growth promoters (such as tylosin, virginiamycin, zinc bacitracin, avoparcin bambermycin, avilamycin); vaccines (for example to prevent E. coli infections) ; immunostimulants; vitamins (such as vitamin A, B group vitamins, vitamins C, D, E and K3) ; minerals (for example salts containing micronutrients, such as iron, zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, manganese, calcium and phosphorus); and enzymes.
  • concentration of total added ingredients in the gel will typically range from 0.5 to 10% w/w of the final gel.
  • a preservative typically in a concentration of 0.05-5% w/w of the final gel
  • suitable preservatives are: parabens, benzoic acid and salts, propionic acid and salts, sorbic acid and salts, bronopol and formaldehyde.
  • the final formulations of the products may also include other adjuvants such as dispersing or wetting agents (such as surfactants e.g. Tweens, Brijs, sodium lauryl sulphate), buffering agents (such as citric acid and citrates, phosphoric acid and phosphates) and diluents (such as lactose, calcium carbonate, silica and starch).
  • dispersing or wetting agents such as surfactants e.g. Tweens, Brijs, sodium lauryl sulphate
  • buffering agents such as citric acid and citrates, phosphoric acid and phosphates
  • diluents such as lactose, calcium carbonate, silica and starch.
  • the feed pellets and gel are preferably mixed relatively gently, to prevent the feed from disintegrating. Any low shear mixer with a blade which has a fine tolerance with the side of the mixing vessel is adequate, such as a planetary mixer or ribbon blender.
  • the gel is gently added to (e.g. folded into) the feed pellets and slowly and uniformly coats them.
  • the amount of gel added per tonne of feed appears to be critical and should be in the range 2-40kg/tonne. Less than 2kg/tonne gives poor product homogeneity, and over 40kg/tonne gives rise to damp (i.e. overly wetted) feed and possible mould growth in the finished feed pellets; more typically the amount used is in the range 5-20kg/tonne, and in many cases the amount is more than 10kg/tonne.
  • All ingredients are thoroughly blended dry in a planetary mixer for 12 minutes, and the product transferred into polythene-lined sachets and heat-sealed.
  • the product is used by adding sufficient water to a mixing vessel (eg. planetary mixer bowl) so that the suspending agent forms a 2.5% w/v solution. (For example, 1kg of product is blended with 5 litres of water.)
  • the suspension is formed by mixing vigorously for 10 minutes.
  • the product is suspended and the gel is sufficiently hydrated it is ready to coat the feed pellets.
  • the pellets are weighed into a suitable mixer (eg ribbon blender) and the required amount of gel added to give the medication level required (eg for 400 mg/kg, add 20 litres/tonne). The mixture is blended for 5 minutes and dispensed into paper sacks.
  • a suitable mixer eg ribbon blender
  • the resultant coated feed when analysed for chlortetracycline content, gave a mean value of 412.6 mg/kg, with a coefficient of variation over 10 assays of 4.6%.
  • the amount of contamination of the mixer as a percentage of the total chlortetracycline added was 0.023%.
  • the product is prepared by dry blending as in Example 1.
  • the suspension is formed by mixing 2kg of product with 20 litres of water as above. To obtain 300mg/kg of combined actives in the feed, 20 litres of gel is added per tonne of feed, and blended for 5 minutes.
  • the coated pellets produced by these methods are found to have even distribution of medicament and good durability upon handling.
  • the mixing vessel becomes coated with gel only to a minimal extent.
  • the product is prepared by mixing the silica thoroughly with the oil to form a viscous gel base. Then the penicillin is blended into the mixture by using a high shear blender over 20 minutes. The product is packed into polypropylene pails and allowed to reach maximum viscosity. After 24 hours standing the viscosity is 18000cP (Brookfield RV, spindle 6, 25rpm, 20°C).
  • the amount of contamination of the mixer was quantified as 0.007% of the total drug added.
